I also have a turntable without any amp. Also have a 6-disc CD player. My Sonos system has a playbar, 2 Sonos One's and a Sonos amp. At first I bought a splitter (about $20) which simply allows both old devices to connect the red/white cables to the back of the splitter and then a set of red/white cables out of the splitter to the IN jacks of the Sonos amp. With this setup the CD player connects to everything and sounds great. The turntable can be heard in the Sonos system but the output is weak. I bought a Pyle PP555 pre-amp (about $23) to insert between the turntable and splitter. The sound was now louder but there was much feedback and distortion. I had to also connect a ground wire between the turntable and pre-amp which eliminated that problem. All sounds good now. Hope this helped.

Does the turntable have a headphone jack? If so you can use Insignia NS-POY3506 to go into your television and out to your playbase, depending upon your TV (if it will allow you to select that input and still send it out as digital audio). A cheap solution that is worth a try. Alternatively, you could connect it to a Sonos Amp and integrate it into your system that way.

I have not done it myself but the manual for this Amp states that it will drive a turn table. In fact Sonos sells a turn table specifically with this Amp.

Great question! You can add your turntable to your Sonos system by purchasing the Sonos Amp, plugging the turn table into the inputs on the back, plugging some passive speakers into the Amp, and playing your records! This is a great use for the Sonos Amp as it lets you play your vinyl collection throughout your entire home!
